Back in January, it was announced that Cher was going to star in a movie about the Flint water crisis for Lifetime and today she says that she has dropped out of the film.

She sent Deadline this statement about her sudden departure, “This has been a project so near and dear to my heart and I was truly looking forward to helping tell this story. Then she added, “Unfortunately, I will be unable to leave Los Angeles during the scheduled filming as I am dealing with a serious family issue that prevents me from going on location for the April filming. I’m so glad that Craig and Neil plan to move ahead and I know that this Lifetime movie will be done beautifully.”

We don’t know what that family emergency is and who it is that is preventing her from going to go to Toronto.

What is interesting, Cher has been performing several shows in Maryland this month, including last night and will do two more this weekend, and has yet to cancel any of those dates. She is also slated to return to Las Vegas in May for another residency and as of now those shows are still going on as planned. Which makes you wonder what is the true story? Is it just that she decided she didn’t want to do the movie after all?

I love Cher, but this is not helping her when it comes to the tabloid reports that she is on her deathbed. I mean, she isn’t because she has done several concerts this year and no one said said she looked like death. Therefore, I really want to know the true story is because inquiring minds want to know. On that note, I am sure the National Enquirer is already on it.
